Choke Recomendation For APEX load

[KentuckyLB]

Hello everyone would like some suggestions on a choke. Recently bought a Winchester SPX Longbeard edition. I am currently going to shoot the APEX 2.5 oz of 8`s , APEX is recommending a 665. Indian Creek.
Would like to know if that choke would be sufficient or to tight for TSS as I have never shot it, have shot Nitro Ammo for last 20 years.. Any advice would be appreciated. .. Thanks

Seems way too tight.

I'd probably get the IC Apex choke in a .680 to .690 for that gun. I'll be running a .680 out of my BPS.

Try the factory full.

I run a 670 Indian creek in my 870 with my 2.5 oz hanload of 8.5s. This is my pattern.

Thanks for the replies everyone, I think I am going start with a 670. IC and go from there..I have read a lot of post on here about choking TSS to tight seems to like more open chokes.

When I hand loaded 2oz on TSS #9 for my 12ga Remington's I did the best with a factory full. Man 2.5oz of #8 TSS will be nasty. Keep us posted on the results.

Apex knows what they are doing but that does sound tight. Here are my patterns with 2.5oz of #9s out of a smaller bored 870 than your SPX with Indian Creek chokes. The .675 was more open than the .665 but I also think it was a more even pattern overall in 20".

They told me Indian creek .665 so I went with it. The pictures of my targets are on their website at 25 and 44 yards. That would at least see if it's to tight or not.

I would try factory full.  665 is way too tight for that in my opinion. I would go see what Carlson or trulock had and start with a more open turkey choke or just a full.
